The planet is grappling with a “new reality” as it reaches the first in a series of catastrophic and potentially irreversible climate tipping points: the widespread death of coral reefs, according to a landmark report produced by 160 scientists across the world. https://cnn.it/42EJdJ4

"The guiding ideal of Ed Broadbent’s public life was that liberal rights like freedom of speech and freedom of expression are necessary but insufficient guarantors of democratic equality," – @lukewsavage.bsky.social

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Listening to an interesting conversation between Luke Savage & @caradrianh.bsky.social - although tangential to the podcast, I'm thinking about how tribalism has supplanted and is now mistaken for ideology in public political discourse.

A reminder.

Humanity has never removed an atmospheric pollutant at a global, continental or, even, regional scale — we have only ever shut down the source and let nature do the clearing up. This is the case for chlorofluorocarbons and stratospheric ozone destruction, for sulfur dioxide and acid rain, and for sulfur and nitrogen oxides and photochemical smog. We must be prepared for CDR to be a failure, leaving us to rely on the environment to stabilize atmospheric CO₂ over thousands of years. This is another argument for rapid decarbonization.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

A host of the Can't Be Censored podcast told Pierre Poilievre that he was never allowed to interview him when he worked for the CBC. I take apart his claim, the defense of channelling all leader invus towards Rosemarie Barton and ask why choose to lick boot?

DeSantis gave it a right-wing overhaul in 2023. Since then, ~40% of the faculty has resigned. It spends more than 10x per student what the other schools do & ranking fell from 76th to 135th.

Spending Soars, Rankings Fall at New College of Florida

Student outcomes and rankings are slipping at the liberal arts college while spending is up. Critics believe the college is at risk of implosion, and some are calling for privatization.
